Your Meeting An Alien or Predator Cast/Crew Member Experience

[TheSailingRabbit]

With Bill Paxton?

Perhaps, who really knows...

Consult a medium.

I understand he cut the part where you asked Scott if he would be willing to direct an AvP flick? 

Wait wat? Is that for real Hicks? lol

[The Old One]

Lmfao, I didn't know.

[Voodoo Magic]

I was an arm's length away from Arnold Schwarzenegger but never was able to speak with him.

No, not at all.

You look quite calm and collected in the interview though. Or else SiL did a hell of an editing job. I understand he cut the part where you asked Scott if he would be willing to direct an AvP flick? 

It was more the fact I didn't really know how the experience was going to go down and I only had time for 3 questions and didn't realize it'd be that short. I felt I wasted on.

I met Vernon Wells at Heathrow a couple of years ago to talk about a project... So Vernon says "do you mind if my friend joins us?"

Like I'm going to say "No" to Bennett, but anyway, his "friend" turns out to be Rico Ross. So I'm sitting in a cafe at Heathrow with Bennett and Frost trying to act professional and failing.

They were great guys... totally willing to talk about their iconic roles... Quoting Aliens and Commando lines with them both is something I'll never forget.

I did cut Damien Birchir going on a bizarre tangent about facehuggers when Hicks asked him about it

Give us that AvPG Assembly Cut with all the awkward rants and bombed questions.

[SiL]

I no longer have the raw footage, AFAIK

Also you're basically asking for the raw, uncut interview, and only Hicks could authorise that

[SM]

I think that Bichir tangent has merit and am eternally disappoint you cut it.

[SiL]

I actually don't disagree with you there. I did try to keep it in, but it was kind of so left field it didn't really paint him or the interview in a terribly great light, even though what he said was actually very informative. If I do have the source files -- or Hicks does -- it would be great to upload it as a stand-alone piece for posterity, as it does help explain a pretty major part of the film.

[SM]

It needs a 'EXCLUSIVE LOPE FACEHUGGING EXPOSED - EXPLAINED!!!!' video.

[SiL]

It really does

I actually think that's my biggest regret -- I didn't take it as a standalone video aside from the interviews. Luckily it was the only example -- the few other tangents I had to cut around weren't unique or terribly insightful.

[Corporal Hicks]

I've still got the SD cards (somewhere). I'm sure I noticed them during the move. I'll try and find them again.
